Functional Anatomy of the Endocrine Glands

Physiology is the study of the functional systems of the human body describing how various systems work and interact with each anatomical structure. Anatomy is the study of the structure and relationship between body parts. In the human body there are 10 functional systems which are: Nervous system (Ns)- The nervous system is divided into two parts : The central nervous system, (CNS) which involves the brain and spinal cord; and the peripheral system which connects the central nervous system to

Functional Anatomy Assignment The special population group I have chosen to work on is the younger people. That range from age 14-17 years old. Firstly I decided to look at the cardio respiratory function. It is a function very important for young people, in fact the level of cardiorespiratory endurance in young people has been linked with future health of adults. When looking at the cardio respiratory system it is clear to see the importance of its many functions, this system takes in oxygen from

Abstract: The butterfly-shaped gland in your neck is known as the thyroid gland. This particular gland is responsible for releasing hormones that regulates metabolism in the body. Cells from all over the body rely on the thyroid to regulate their metabolism as well. Dysfunctions if the thyroid gland can cause many problems to the body. Many diseases can arise from overproduction or underproduction of the main thyroid hormones, including cancer. However, modern day research and medicine has proven

9-1: Why are human psychologists concerned with human biology? Psychologists working from a biological perspective study the links between biology and behavior. We are biopsychosocial systems, in which biological, psychological and social-cultural factors interact to influence behavior. 9-2: What are the parts of a neuron and how are neural impulses generated? Neurons are the elementary components of the nervous system, the body 's speedy electrochemical information system. A neuron receives signals

Question 1: a) The two processes, with which a cell passes this DNA sequence onto other cells, are DNA replication and mitosis. The cell cycle is inclusive of mitosis and DNA replication, the latter of which occurs in the S phase (synthesis) of the cycle. The goal of the S phase is to create two identical semi-conservative chromosomes. The enzyme helicase unwinds the parental DNA double helix strand and uses it as a template so the enzyme DNA polymerase can attach free-floating nucleotides to the

Exam one Study Guide: Basic Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy- the study of structure Subdivisions: -Gross (macroscopic) – visible to the naked eye, such as surface area, regional areas or anatomy systems -Microscopic – extremely small areas that usually need a microscope to be seen such as cytology (the study of the shape and function of plant or animal cells) or histology ( the study of the microscopic structure of tissue) -Developmental- compared to the evolutional study of something such

the left side of the body. 2. Describe the functional anatomy of the duct system that conveys bile from the liver and digestive juice from the pancreas to the lumen of the

Assignment Title: Anatomy & Physiology Scenario/Vocational Context: This unit introduces core knowledge of cellular structure and function, and the organisation of the body as a whole, and then builds on this to develop a more detailed knowledge of the fine anatomy and physiology of the systems involved in energy metabolism. Functional Skills Development: This assignment will give you the opportunity to develop skills in Level 2 English, Math’s and ICT. The functional skills being improved

Lyndsie Cox 09/09/15 EXS – 1000 Personal Health Anatomy and Physiology Worksheet Use the internet, reliable resources only, to explore and source your responses. No Wikipedia, please. What do each of the following contribute to body’s motion or stability: How ? Why? Be complete in your answers. Muscle – Muscles pull on the joints that allow us to move. Muscles pull on the joints which that move the bones. Tendon – When the muscles contract it pulls the tendon that then pulls on the bones

sequences of physical and chemical processes. Physiology is closely related to anatomy: the study of the structure of the body. The nutrient –absorbing intestinal cells have a multitude of fingerlike projections in contact with the digested food. Based on knowledge of structure –function relationships, explain the functional advantage
